Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

Lightning port to 3.5 mm apple adapter works well with the iphone 8. This is my second adapter, the first one is still working good after 3 years, i just wanted one for my bose ae2 headphones and the other for my amplified sound system.
The materials seems kinda flimsy, need to use with care though.
I suggest by reading other reviews on this product, when in use if one lt or rt is not working or cracking sounds, clean the connections with rubbing alcohol and soft cloth. This has worked for me.

Makes normal headphones able to be used on i phone. Good as backup when bluetooth not an option. Sound quality is good. Seems well made. Small so i keep it attached to a pair of headphones.

I ordered the apple brand jack adapter, and it came in an unopened box, so i believe it was the real thing. Everything works just as it had with an older phone that didn’t require an adapter to use the earphones. I can adjust volume, etc. When i want to. I don’t know whether it’s necessary to buy the brand name, but i’m happy that i did.

I just got the item today so i dont really know how long this good quality will last but so far no problems. It connects to a regular headphones that you can get from walmart or something so that you can plug it into an iphone. (shown in image) no issues with it connecting :))

I had to buy a second one of these because my first one accidentally went through the shredder (don’t ask lol) and it works perfectly. I leave it plugged into a headset at my desk and then plug it into my apple iphone 11 on the other side anytime i need to be on a call for work. It has worked perfectly so far, good sound quality for calls and i can adjust the volume from my phone as needed. I have used it for music only once, and it was fine then too, i just primarily use it for work phone calls.

Don’t throw away your old apple headphones … This is a good investment instead of buying a new headphone. The adapter is small, that you don’t notice it is there.

I am using these with my corded headphones for connecting to my iphone 13pro for phone calls and a voice recorder and works great

I lost my old one and needed a replacement. It works great for my over the ear headphones. The sound quality is wonderful.

You don’t lose sound quality while using the adapter. I leave it on my older 3.5mm jack headphones. Compatible with current iphones and even ipads that already have an audio jack.

Muy bien este articulo original se puede cambiar la música y bajar y subir el audio mediante unos audífonos jack3.5 solo funciona con la función de ios de los auriculares

I wanted a dongle to allow older (trs) headphones with phone calls, while also using the iphone’s built-in microphone.

This dongle does do that for me (iphone x running ios 15.6), with four caveats:

— (#1) when inserting the dongle the very first time, ios asks if the accessory will be used for ‘headphones’ or ‘other devices’. Selecting ‘headphones’ works. Selecting ‘other devices’ fails, and calls always go to the iphone’s built-in speaker. — [to reset use: ‘settings app’ -> sounds & haptics -> headphone safety -> lightning adapters -> forget all adapters]

— (#2) headphone listening always works well for music/videos. But for calls, at the beginning of each call, i must un-plug-&-re-plug either the dongle or my headphones. This is annoying, but after trying several dongles, it’s the only ‘working’ choice i have, so far.

— (#3) during calls with this dongle, you must use the iphone’s side volume buttons for changing the sound. The control center ‘volume slider’ does not work. — (for music & videos the control center ‘volume slider’ works fine.)

— (#4) the short cable in the middle of this dongle is very thin, and likely delicate. So, i envision re-purchasing (for another $8) after several months or a year.

— note: good news. This lightning-to-lightning splitter ( www.amazon.com/dp/b08tqgq8qs/ — and likely others too) also allows me to charge while using my headphones on phone calls. (same four caveats above).

Received authentic apple unit in authentic box. Works fine with my iphone 12 but the wire on these pieces is just so flimsy and that’s the fault of apple. That being said, i have yet to find a third party dongle that actually works correctly / doesn’t die after a week or two of use

I still despise having to pick between charging my phone or privately listening to my music/videos. However, since there’s no point in barking up that tree, this helps “fix” the extremely un-versatile socket. If you’re anything like me as in you use different types of headphones and earbuds, then there’s only one thing you should know. At first, it’s a bit hard to get in, but it’s very sturdy. However, after switching it a few times, it’s much less so. So yeah, no wildly dancing to music while wearing headphones, if you’re the kind of person who does so. A little tug and it’ll unplug. Other than that though, it seems to be working well so far.

My every products were black except this lightening headphone adapter. Wish i bought black color.

It does it’s job okay. Nothing special about it. Sound quality isnt the best but that’s what you get for getting an apple

I have an aux cable in my car and i had to replace the last adapter because it kept pulling out and skipping. This one has been working fine until yesterday where i had to readjust it like last time. Hopefully it last longer but i see it being something i need to constantly replace.

We’ve tried some off brands with no luck. Not sure if this apple brand is much better.

Occasionally you need to connect wired ear buds and firewire connections are not available. This allows you to connect standard earbuds to your firewire phone or tablet.

The sound quality of the wired ear sets with correct plug built-in sound better but their overall quality isn’t as good. Why can’t i just plug the damn thing into a headphone jack? Did eliminating it save apple a dollar-fifty or something?

If you do your research, you will find that the apple audio dongles objectively measure smack in the middle of dedicated dacs that are multiple times the price…. Unless you are driving some really high impedance headphones, you don’t need more than this. The one gripe, the feel of the cable and cable ends is very flimsy. This is backed up with many reviews where people indicate that over time they fail due to fatigue.
